Anderson Metals 750069-0304 Compression Male Elbow

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS 750069-0304 is a lead-free brass compression tube male elbow designed for connecting compression tubing to a male NPT-threaded port at a 90-degree angle. Built from lead-free brass, this fitting meets modern plumbing material standards and is rated for up to 400 psi working pressure. The 1/4-inch NPT thread and 3/8-24 straight thread sizing make it a compact, reliable fitting for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC, and fluid-transfer applications. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians install this type of fitting when routing copper or compatible soft tubing to threaded valve bodies, manifolds, or equipment ports.

This fitting is suited for use in tight spaces where a straight connection is not practical. It is commonly installed in residential plumbing supply lines, refrigeration equipment connections, pneumatic control circuits, and HVAC hydronic or refrigerant line accessory work. The compression x MNPT end configuration allows a tube to be secured without soldering on one end while threading directly into a female NPT port on the other. The compact form factor and standard NPT thread make it a common replacement or upgrade fitting in both new installations and retrofit work.

Key Features

• Lead-free brass construction meets current plumbing material compliance requirements
• Rated to 400 psi maximum working pressure
• Compression x MNPT end connections eliminate the need for solder on the tube side
• 1/4-inch NPT thread size for direct connection to standard female NPT ports
• 3/8-24 straight thread size for precise mechanical fit
• 90-degree elbow geometry for routing tubing in confined or angled installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC, and fluid-transfer systems requiring a compression-to-MNPT elbow connection in 1/4-inch NPT sizing.

Installation Notes

This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers or HVAC technicians. Before installation, shut off the water supply or system pressure and depressurize the line completely. Hand-tighten the compression nut onto the tubing, then snug with a wrench — do not overtighten, as excess force can deform the compression ferrule and cause leaks. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male NPT threads in accordance with local plumbing codes before threading into the female port.
